Except if you're in a family with a sick parent and you wonder whether you should encourage more exercise or not. Much more important than bar room banter.
I agree with that easy statement. But you have to make decisions, even when there is no science at all.
What is your estimate of the right control group size should be, for such a study?
I am learning from that study that, on 494 patients, they found no clear cut link between exercise and dementia evolution. Are you saying there is a clear cut one?
Maybe there is a link, but if it was very significant, hopefully the study would have detected a correlation.
My bottom-line for my life: don't focus on pushing physical exercise if your loved one has dementia, there is no clear cut link detected today. It is interesting as for some, their "intuition" may make them believe there is one.
Please correct which part of my reasoning is wrong here. I am talking about real life, not a conversation at a bar.
